I don't see therapists as relationship experts. I mean, they're also supposed to be communication experts, but we all know how badly they suck at communication.

And, yeah, I'm on my second divorce, they are VERY tough. Therapists getting divorced seems like a GOOD thing to me: it means they're honest enough to admit something isn't working, they made a mistake, and now they're trying to rebuild. That's the important thing, not that they hung on in a loveless marriage because they were afraid it would ruin their reputation as "relationship experts." If they are relationship experts, they know when it's time to go. Some relationships will never work or get irreparably broken.

Sorry if this is rant-y, but some comments on this thread hit kind of close to home about divorce.
